Let's Play Stranglehold - Late To The Party

[@Se7en2107]

So many things are changing in my life. I'm sad and scared, but at least I can still hold onto Ian's weird old games and Aoife's sass as my one piece of certainty and security.

[@rebelwithout-a-clue]

The Hospital/baby scene in Hard Boiled is one of the best shootouts in movie history.

[@marcgriffiths24]

when the melon cart rolled out me and Aoife yelled MY CABBAGES at the exact same time 😂😂😂 I had to rewind the video to be sure she said it

[@langdon7x]

So cinematic!

[@shadymodnation5781]

6:55 I always like the way Aoife says: "Hey! HEY! Hey..."

[@sobaco32]

This game was a hidden gem. Loved it.

[@fede35mm]

We 👏 need 👏 more 👏 dives 👏 from 👏 Ian

[@astraldragon01]

I loved it, such a great game that highlights the fun you can have with just a simple idea done well. A HD remaster and re doing of the controls would make this game an instant classic in 2020

[@crows2808]

Aoife quickly went from groaning at Tequila Time to making Tequila Shots. Record time, that.

[@Moricant]

Loved this game back in the day, but then I have an extensive collection of Chow Yun-Fat films. Special notice must go to the absurdity of Tiger On The Beat with its shotgun-on-a-string and chainsaw duel. The John Woo ones are the best though; he makes cameo appearances in both this game and Hardboiled as a bartender.

[@SpoonOfDoom]

„No head for you!“ and Ian doesn’t even giggle? Is everything alright?

[@nightcatarts]

Shame they didn't rework the particles to make them smaller & more numerous. They really hadn't moved on at all from the PS2 & Xbox to the PS3 & 360. 31:21 Aoife, haven't you ever heard of splash damage?! BTW, I think if you add a GOG or other release to Steam as a non-Steam game then it'll let Steam handle the controller inputs for you so you can use one with unsupported games (provided it's configured correctly in Steam). It's a bit fiddly to set up but works solidly once it's there.

[@chaosagentmr]

I feel cheated that I never knew about this game before.

[@MrTomFTW]

Best part of the game is when you run along the spine of that dinosaur skeleton. Worth the price of admission alone.

[@brocksisson7128]

So much world class editing, kudos to whoever did all this.

[@AlexB_42]

Ian's unironic, child-like glee at watching guys get absolutely domed is very infectious

[@JenWritesSome]

Just starting this but in answer to Aoife's question: Tequila is called that in Hard Boiled, you hear his name loads.

[@KillerFr0st07]

Jet Li's Rise To Honor video game for a Late To The Party! Was just as interesting as this!

[@CogitoErgoSumJam]

Can you please do this as a complete let's play series?

[@wackamack9829]

Holy shit, I totally forgot this game existed! I was probably a tad young to be playing it when it came out, but since when did that ever stop me? Once you allow yourself to be swept away by its OTT-ness, this game's an absolute blast

[@GabrielKnightz]

First off Kudos to the editor :D this was just pure midless fun. They should remake in a modern engine. Can i suggest you guys have a series called "New to the Party" playing games none of you have played, just an excuse to play comment suggestions and weird indie games.

[@holywarriorbear7720]

i believe there has been moments in which both members of the crew attending Late to the Party has not played the said game at all. Odd moments here and there, but there are some. I believe one of quite recent.

[@theelucidator7353]

Midless fun? Do you mean to infer that he was shooting people's chests out? It does it have a different meaning such as emphasizing the lack of story development which is typically referred to as the "middle". Or am I just being a spelling correcting asshole😁

[@gaymergrrrl]

“my cabbages!!!” 💕🍈🍈🍈

[@HighFiveTheHorizon]

I'm sure Ian is Sokka, but I can't decide between Toph and Azula for Aoife...

[@eurogamer]

Azula 100% - Aoife

[@sampeters5589]

Do you know what it's like to have your own mother think you are a monster? She was right of course but it still hurt.

[@HighFiveTheHorizon]

@@sampeters5589 Her whole story and the last fight were remarkable. Getting shivers just remembering her eyes.

[@theelucidator7353]

MY CABBAGES!!!!!

[@KillerFr0st07]

Mexican standoffs and crazy gunfights were the best parts about the Hardboiled movie. Especially the ending epic gun-fu fight

[@sevensins3584]

Loved this game!

[@cephalopodsquids]

Jet Li': Rise to Honor was a Playstation 2 game that played around with the '90s hong kong action movie aesthetic as well. Good one to take a look at if you can find it.

[@wheresatari6242]

If you don't think melons can have that much juice, you obviously have never worked in a produce department😂

[@CarlHammarstrom]

One of the first games I got for my Xbox 360 other than Gears.

[@ChrisWTube]

If you want melon physics, play Dead Or Alive...

[@bearhustler]

Love the Athletico Mince shirt Ian.

[@paulthebeardedonedowning6820]

so I don't know how it happened but I've never seen this game so yeah GOG is getting installed right away lol

[@ulfhazelcreek8108]

Glorious.

[@theDegausser]

The star sound Ian first made sounded strangely like an ascending-in-pitch homing briefcase...

[@alvinchiew9589]

Hi, i really enjoyed your videos. Is it possible to request you guys play the first Shenmue (Remastered version) as part of the Late To The Party video series, or better, the Let's Play series? I saw you played Shenmue 3 but for first timers, S3 is a bad place to start (It's like watching Return of the King without having watched Fellowship and Two Towers). Shenmue is a really underrated cinematic game with a deep mystery and immersive storyline that should be made known to mainstream gamers. I believe you will know what I mean once you advance to Shenmue 2 :) Thanks for reading this, and I hope you can make my dream and all Shenmue fans' dream come true^^

[@GabrielKnightz]

Also, not sure why but, Aoife here reminds me of a young illustrious Bebe Neuwirth.

[@rebelwithout-a-clue]

Any Hard Boiled fans should watch The Killer (also a John Woo/Chow Yun-Fat collab).

[@LacroixboiMarx]

In b4 someone makes a Bill Engvall “Here’s your sign” joke.

[@mrhedgebull1658]

Given Aoife's not seen the movie you should do a movie night/react video of Hard Boiled.

[@TheSurreptitiousSquirrelCabal]

THE HAMSTER HAS A GUN!

[@Livin-86]

Oh my goodness I've not laughed that hard in a long while xD❤

[@fredwolfmusic]

I remember playing this game with my flat mate thinking it was the dogs dangling bits , but we were drinking stupid amounts of strongbow at the time.

[@21RedRabbit]

Ian, when you go on jumping on fruit, go easy on the bananas. You know, for safety reasons.

[@antzpantz]

4:15 "Sensitivity? NOPE." Vertical & Horizontal Speed!!!

[@mrgannon]

Thought for sure this had been on LTTP before. That first level is giving me serious Deja Vu...

[@mrgannon]

Nevermind it was “WET” from earlier this year

[@johnoneil9188]

There is actually another cop called Tequila. He was a talking police dog in an 80s cop show.

[@jasonjlloyd]

Just a wittle bwit twippsy Ian? I used to love this game.

[@corbeaumartin-caldwell4481]

Where is that assassin's creed black flag we were promised all the way back when Aiofe and Jhonny played AC syndicate?

[@quinnthegreat7065]

Oh stranglehold, for some reason I thought it said stronghold. Haha 😂

[@andeve3]

is that a flock of white doves in your pocket or are you just happy to see me

[@sampeters5589]

Wu do you think you are?

[@AngelBeatYunara]

My caabbages!!

[@jvwriter9028]

mmh those graphics, so sexy

[@theelucidator7353]

Most of this was me yelling at my screen " THAT'S NOT HOW GUNS WORK!!! THAT'S NOT HOW ROCKET LAUNCHERS WORK!!! THAT NOT HOW SLIDING WORKS!!!!!" I am very adamant about realism when it comes to guns...this game probably isn't for me.
